A lovely walk down memory lane from an astute observer of life…
From being a naive girl with innocent dreams to being a caring wife and doting mother, and then going back to fulfil those innocent dreams you once had, you have gone through your share of ups and downs. But love the optimism and resilience in your spirit. 🙂
The lovely poem at the end encapsulates your entire journey. I am so happy for you that your efforts paid off through all those accolades last year.

Nice recap of your last decade . Lovely pics of your kids . It was good to read about your ups and downs in life but at the end you battled it all and came up with positivity and inspiration for everyone. The verses sprinkled in between are quite motivating and powerful.Good luck for the next decade dear !!

Beautiful Brave ride of your Decade Deepika, best thing you never let your dreams overshadowed by your any house responsibilities whether it was as wife, as a mother, or as DIL, you faced all the situations bravely, enthusiastically and you came out with flying colors….Best wishes for coming decades.

Such an amazing journey with so many transfers and amongst so many changes taking care of two little kids is so dificult yet you stayed strong and have such positive outlook towards all the changes. Loved your post!!

My god such an inspiring story. I remember reading your post during the AtoZ challenge last year. And then today when I read your life story during the last decade it tells me what a strong and determined lady you are. “khud se hi ladai apni galtiyon ke liye” mera dil chura liya tumne. bahut saara pyaar

You write so beautifully. I just loved the post and the poetry. Congratulations on the award. You have been a fighter and in spite of everything have never left chasing your dreams. That was an inspiring recap of the last decade. Wishing you many more awards, success, and happiness in the coming decade. Lovely to connect with you

Inspite of my hindi being a little weak I managed to read the entire post! 😄
You have presented your lifes journey beautifully from an innocent girl to a wife to a mother to a writer! Look at the awards you’ve got yourself. So happy! Keep going Deepika. 👍

Such true feelings Deepika. I totally agree that life takes its own course and then we adjust our plans accordingly. That is why always have plan B. I have stopped planning and started taking a day as it comes.

Deepika, everytime I look at you, I admire you for all your hardwork and dedication and after reading your journey, I respect ou even more. You took things in your stride and made your own identity. Keep shining always and Hindi me likhna kabhi mat chhodna, its your strength.

Thank you, Pallavi for this detailed comment. Yes! Things are changing. But I want to say here, I am not highlighting the feminism in the particular post. I am here because my husband’s supported me directly or indirectly. But I didn’t mention here because I wanted to talk about only my journey.

It’s not like that Maheshji! You are mistaken. Actually, I have to go to another state. And B.ed takes one full year to complete. It is my decision too. I agree that there are places where the girl birth is not welcomed as a boy birth.

That’s a beautiful account of your ten years–and this bittersweet post made me think–women suffer so much at the hands of patriarchy. Kudos to you for your triumphs and best wishes for the journey ahead.

Your story resonated so much with mine. Before you settle down it’s time to move to a different city, new house new environment. I too started blogging for this reason so that it never goes back to dust. You have fought courageously with all odds of life to shine like a star.

I have been following you since last year and have seen you grow beautifully in the field of blogging. I have always admired your writing, both in Hindi as well as English. Many congratulations on your last decade’s achievements. “पर जितना हम सोचते है उतना आसां नहीं होता है, अपने सपनों से पीछा छुड़ाना।

वो सोने नहीं देता है आपको और कोई राह न दिखे तो जीने भी नहीं देता है।”
I loved these lines, so true, dreams don’t let us sleep. I wish you all the luck and love for the new decade!

Thank you so much dear😊 for your kind words! Same here I also have been following you for a long time. Your journey is also incredible. We are here to learn and grow. Wish you the same Neha! Best wishes!
